If there is a cure for the disease, the only one who becomes cured is the one who accepts it with all punctuality and believes that it was received from the Doctor of all patients, who intentionally discloses to us our disease – so that we must take his medicine.
If this medicine is revealed to us and given, then we are obliged to take it exactly «as required». You don’t plaster it on your leg if you were told that you need to take it internally, and you don’t take only one tablet instead of 30 during the month – everything must be done exactly as the doctor instructed.
And then the medication cures! It’s precisely adapted to our nature. A man who refuses to accept it – simply doesn’t use the force that can cure the problem. Because there are two forces opposing and equivalent to each other – a man always has the freedom of choice: to take the medication or not.
Man doesn’t get blamed because he fell ill – but only for not taking a medication as prescribed. A medicine has the healing power. All we are fighting for is to make you take that medicine: open a book, tune yourself up, keenly listen to the lesson, prepare yourself for it, develop a need for healing. In response to this need and the feeling of disease, the medication comes to the extent a person demands it.
There is a law: «One and another against each other were made by the Creator» – sickness, evil, selfishness, and against these are the good beginning and the light. But the key is in our hands: let the light influence what it’s opposed to – to our selfishness. And then the ego will be corrected, and they both become as one, which is called «dual goodness».
How can we put our freedom of choice into action and let the light act on us? Only by considering the importance of the goal. In everyday life we make the same calculation: “Is it worthwhile to care about our health? What do I get if I’m healthy?” I have to keep myself busy by doing some exercise, following the diet, and so on. It is easier to give up on my health – and let it go.
That is, I don’t really care about being healthy. Well, in our ordinary life this is understandable, because, sooner or later, my life comes to the end. And we see that even the best health does not help anyone to live forever.
But if we talk about the spiritual and eternal life, then our only problem – is the lack of importance of the goal, which is hidden from us. We need to make sure that the greatness of the goal will be perceived by us as the biggest need.
